98 toyota corolla backfiring

    hi guys,

    just a question relating to a 98 Toyota Corolla automatic which has recently started to backfire on starting, and between 60 and 80 kmph on the road.

    It is a bit spluttery on starting also.

    A few months ago I replaced the ignition leads with leads I got at a breakers yard.

    Also, some oil managed to leak into one of the sparkplug cylinders around the same time, so I replaced the plugs and cleaned inside each cylinder, that was about 4 months ago.

    I would be keen to get to the bottom of the backfiring issue as the car passed the NCT today.

    A local garage said that it had something to do with a thing which is near the timing belt in automatic cars which is old and worn out, and he could sort it next week.

    Any thing I searched for on Google seemed to point at the spark plugs, ignition leads and maybe coil set.

    Any suggestions welcome...

    thanks

    I wonder would the position of the crank or cam sensor be different in an automatic as one of these is usually attached to the fly-wheel. The local breakers have 4 corrollas around that vintage but have difficulty in locating the sensors.

    Thanks for the reply btw.
